Kyle Cameron joins on loan

We are delighted to announce the signing of defender Kyle Cameron on a season-long loan deal from Notts County, subject to international clearance.

The 27-year-old switches to McDiarmid Park for the upcoming campaign after spending three years at Meadow Lane and helping his side to promotion from the National League as captain.

Mainly operating as a centre-back, Cameron has made over 100 appearances for the Magpies and he has also represented Scotland at youth level.

After penning his loan deal, Kyle told Saints TV: “This is an opportunity I had to take. I have always wanted to play in Scotland. 

“I feel like it is a step up and a move in the right direction for my career. Speaking to the manager made my mind up. He spoke very well and he wants to improve me.

“I am still 27 so I feel like I have a lot of room to grow and get better as a player. I am coming to play and cement my place in the team.”

On his aspirations for the season, Cameron added: “I would like to see the club do well this season. I obviously want to play as much as I can.

“It is about showcasing what I can do this season. Doing that in a St Johnstone kit is a great move in the right direction for me.

“I feel like I am a leader and a good defender. I will let the fans decide what kind of player I am when I start to play games.”

Manager Craig Levein said: “I am delighted to welcome Kyle to the club for the season and he will bring more balance to our defence.

“Kyle is quick, good in the air and his use of the ball is very good. He will be a strong addition to our squad and has important leadership qualities.”
